Poor experience
Poor experience. Unfortunately while waiting for our room to be available decided to grab a bite and couple Drinks. Stood at front of line for 25 minutes to be told to order at the table due to staff shortages. Young lady behind the bar was overwhelmed and doing her best whilst the manager was sitting at front desk. Waited a further 20 minutes at the table, still no drink or food. 45 minutes in total, went back to the bar and asked the young lady who made the drinks for our beer and wine not cocktails. She apologised and I felt awful for her. Made a complaint to the manager- male wasn’t interested and gave poor excuses and was bad luck pretty much. Room was average, pool was in a poor state missing tiles needs repair. Low on toiletries in the room all empty for the price we expected more. Trip was ruined before it started, definitely won’t go back.

1 start for Rainforest
The booking information advised the the property was separate feom the main resort but i didnt expect it to be on another street. The only "Castaways" about our accommodation was the sign. It was called "Rainforest" which suggests lush tropical gardens. Around the daggy pool, it was slightly tropical compared to the front of the building which look like a wasteland. Turns out we were staying in the staff accommodation building. Stomping in the room above us all the time. The car park was a old garden bed it seemed and the abilities of the staff to park in straight lines to allow other parking around the various trees was next to nill. The resort on the other hand was 5 star compared to our 1 star. And we only used the lobby for 10 minutes. A better description of location with a better price point to reflect "Rainforest " still would leave a sour taste.

Location with the beachfront was great. That was where the positives ended. Our room had water leaking from the wall, a damaged light switch in the bathroom and the base of the toilet was leaking. There were also cockroaches. This resort is in desperate need of significant renovation.

Room was fairly dirty, dust and dirt on cupboards, painting unfinished around the room and out on the balcony. Also no room service or cutlery in the room. Toilet was also very wobbly. Great location close to the beach

Poor experience
Hotel is nicely situated on the beach, beautiful views. We thought dinner on the beach would be lovely, but we were told we couldn’t do that as staff were too busy as there was a wedding. Our room was right next to where the wedding was held so very noisy til 1130 pm. Room was tired and run down. If hotel wants to host weddings, fine, but don’t book in other guests, and definitely don’t room them right next to the wedding.

Average property in a good location right on the beach and short walk to restaurants and bars. Pool area and rooms are tired, worn and dated. In room facilities extremely limited. Staff were friendly and accomodating but I do not consider this good value for the price we paid so would not recommend or stay here again.

Lovely site on the beachfront. Easy walk to other restaurants. Rooms need updating. Fridge rusty, not working effectively. Louvres at front of room missing? needs to be replaced.

Bed looked like it had been slept in, there was toilet paper in the toilet, a cockroach crawling around my room. Decor is daggy for the price i paid. Lots of errors with my booking, it was suggested i hadn't paid when i had. Had a few emails & phone call suggesting that i didn't pay. Showed confirmation & receipt plus bank statement then got told they didn't realise I'd paid
